The Rising Of The Moon Lyrics - Judy Collins

Ah then tell me Sean O'Farrell 

Tell me why you're hurrying so 

Hush my boy oh hush and listen 

And his eyes were all aglow 

I bear orders from the captain 

Get you ready quick and soon 

For the pikes must be together 

At the rising of the moon 

Ah then tell me Sean O'Farrell 

Where the gatherin' is to be 

In the old spot by the river 

Right well known to you and me 

One thing more for signal token 

Whistle up the marchin' tune 

With your sword upon your shoulder 

At the rising of the moon

Linkin Park Honors Chester Bennington In The Emotional Video For 'One More Light' 

Watch Beck's Heroic New Music Video For 'Up All Night' 

Rumors passed along the valley 

Like a banshee's lonely croon 

And a thousand blades were flashin' 

At the rising of the moon 

All along the singing river 

That dark mass of men were seen 

Far above their shining weapons 

Hung their own immortal green 

Death to every foe and traitor 

Foreign strike the marchin' tune 

And hurrah me boys for Ireland 

Tis the rising of the moon 

Photos 

Well, they fought for poor old Ireland 

And full bitter was their fate 

Oh what glorious pride and sorrow 

Fill the name of ninety-eight 

Yet thank God while hearts are beating 

Foreign manhood's burnin' noon, 

We shall follow in their footsteps 

At the rising of the moon. 

Death to every foe and traitor 

Foreign, strike the marchin' tune 

And hurrah me boys for freedom 

Tis the rising, 

Tis the rising of the moon
